I work with customers on Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI adoption every day. What I keep noticing: most organizations don't struggle with the technology — they struggle with getting people to actually use it.

So I started building things on the side: ready-to-deploy Copilot agents, complete adoption campaigns, foundational learning paths, and small tools that take the friction out of agent development. Everything here is community work — no support, no warranty, MIT license — but built based on real struggles.

The goal is simple: lower the barrier to entry, especially for the folks who aren't deep into adoption yet. Take a template, customize it, ship it, scale your AI usage.

Microsoft's newest Copilot capability, Copilot Cowork, is moving fast — and hands-on practitioner content is still scarce. CoworkCustoms is my open lab: practitioner notes, decision guides, and architectural comparisons from real experimentation.

What you'll find:

• NEW Custom skill DailyOps - Personal daily-operations system as a Cowork Custom Skill — tasks, customers, stakeholders, and a mail-capture loop for customer-facing roles.
• Chat vs. Skill vs. Agent — full comparison — feature-by-feature breakdown and decision tree across Copilot Chat, Cowork Custom Skills, Agent Builder Agents, Declarative Agents, and Custom Agents in Copilot Studio
• Custom Skills basics — folder structure, schema, and why Anthropic-style skills can't be ported 1:1
• Adding custom skills, the right way — two import paths, plus how to run quality checks via the /skills command
• Curated sources — Microsoft's official docs, FAQ, roadmap, and Frontier program info

⚠️ Frontier features evolve fast. These notes reflect hands-on observations and may change with the product. Treat as practitioner perspective, not official Microsoft guidance.

1. Safe AI Learning Path — foundational learning for end users (SCORM-ready)
2. Chat Navigator — daily prompt examples, 31-day onboarding agent
3. holidAI — same idea, holiday-flavored advent edition
4. MakerMate — get from idea to finished video/visual in Copilot Create, faster

1. AI at Work — Adoption Package — org-wide knowledge stream with proactive Teams nudges (the big one)
2. Back to Work with AI — re-engagement campaign for the new year, ready to deploy in <20 min
3. AI Ideator — turn vague workflow pain into clear ideas for M365 native, Copilot, or agent solutions
4. Pair any of these with the Safe AI Learning Path for lasting impact

1. AgentEngineer — lossless delta-editor for agent-source files
2. AgentIconMaker — guided, M365-compliant icon creation
3. JSONlocalizer — structure-safe translation for Copilot Studio localization

• ManyMinds — org-wide neurodiversity awareness agent for employees, allies, and managers
• NeurodiversityCorner — personal practices & experiments: how AI can reduce friction in neurodivergent work styles

AI on every desk — including the desks that traditional adoption rarely reaches.

If you're at an organization where adoption is hard, where champions burn out, or where Copilot rolled out but nobody really uses it: fork anything you find here, change what you need, ship it. That's exactly what these are for.

I'd love to hear how you're using this — what worked, what didn't, what you'd want next. Open an issue on any repo, ping me on LinkedIn, or wave at me at jaysons.dev.

⭐ If something here saved you time, a star makes my day (and helps others find it).

All projects are community work. No support, no warranty, no SLA — but plenty of love. ✌️
